Lag? #2

Open nebhead opened 5 years ago

nebhead commented 5 years ago

I've got this setup with a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and RetroPie running MAME. When I try this with Galaga, there is a fair amount of lag on all of the inputs (at least 500ms). Is this what you experience? Or is it possible that something is wrong with my setup?

Just in case anyone else comes here to check this out, I ran across this other project which essentially accomplishes the same thing but by emulating a game controller instead of a keyboard. I've modified the GamepadExample code to work for my arcade stick setup and it works really, really well with RetroPie (on the Raspberry Pi 3B+). Your mileage may vary, but I was very impressed. Worked well with Galaga in MAME and with Castlevania on the NES Emulator. If anyone is interested, I can post my modified code to GitHub as well.
